Indeterminate cell histiocytosis (ICH) is an extremely rare cutaneous neoplastic disorder. It has the immunophenotypic features of both Langerhans and non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis. We report here a case of a healthy young Chinese woman who presented with disfiguring thick, infiltrated cutaneous nodules on the face, trunk and extremities which appeared progressively over a period of 4 years. No systemic involvement has been detected so far. Results of a skin biopsy showed diffuse dermal infiltration of histiocytoid cells with indented nuclei and positive staining for S100 and CD1a and negativity for CD207 (langerin). Admixed within were some CD68-positive foamy histiocytes and multinucleated giant cells with focal positivity for CD163. Though the clinical presentation is more typical of progressive nodular histiocytosis, the histology and immunoprofile is consistent with ICH. Our report adds to the limited case reports in the current literature of ICH in the Chinese population.
